BUENOS AIRES (AFP). -- Unidentified flying objects were observed again in the last hours in Argentina, in Rosario and in Mar Del Plata, the press reports.
In Rosario, 350 km in the West of Buenos Aires, several people followed during seven minutes the evolutions of an odd object of lengthened form, of ten meters approximately, which diffused a bright light of red color. It moved in various directions at high speed. The phenomenon was also observed by several motorists who drove towards the city.
Close to Mar Del Plata, at 400 kms in the South of the Argentinian capital, several people who were fishing since daybreak on the Atlantic coast were attracted by a powerful orange light which shone on the sea, within a few 2 kilometers from the coast.
The object, of rectangular shape of approximately 50 meters length on 5 in height, intensely luminous, appeared to move on the town of Miramar, within thirty kilometers of the place of observation, when it changed direction and moved away in opposite direction, rising at a vertiginous speed and disappearing in hardly a few seconds. while it moved away, the witnesses noted that the object took an oval shape.
The area of Mar Del Plata appears to hold the privilege of these odd appearances. Also, many people come at dawn to the Atlantic coast to observe them. Recently, a photographer of a local newspaper managed to take several photographs [fakes] of one of these machines.
